TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a polysiloxane obtained by using asilsesquioxane derivative and a method of producing the polysiloxane.The polysiloxane is expected to be applied in various fields includingelectronic material, optical material, optoelectronic material, paint,and primer.

Here, the term “silsesquioxane” is a generic name for compounds in whicheach silicon atom is bound to three oxygen atoms, and each oxygen atomis bound to another silicon atom. The term “silsesquioxane skeleton” tobe used in the present invention is a generic name for a silsesquioxanestructure and a silsesquioxane-like structure obtained by deforming partof the silsesquioxane structure.

BACKGROUND ART

Studies have been conducted on the application of a polymer containing asilsesquioxane skeleton to various fields because the polymer has aspecific skeleton structure. A polymer having a silsesquioxane skeletonstructure has been heretofore synthesized by a sol-gel method involvingthe use of alkoxysilane such as triethoxysilane. However, the sol-gelmethod involves a large number of problems, for example, the methodrequires a long reaction time, makes it difficult to control a reaction,and is apt to leave fine holes.

Further, in recent years, a polymer using silsesquioxane having acage-type structure or a derivative thereof has been studied, and thepolymer is expected to have excellent weatherability, heat resistance,physical properties, and optical properties. For example, Lichtenhan etal. have disclosed a method of producing a copolymer obtained bypolymerizing a silsesquioxane having a cage-type structure containing adefect, that is, a so-called incomplete cage-type structure (a structurewhich is not of a complete octahedral shape andpart of which is lost)with siloxane (U.S. Pat. No. 5,412,053 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,589,562). Theproduction method involves crosslinking the polyhedral oligomericsilsesquioxane by using a bifunctional silane, siloxane, ororganometallic compound having amine etc. as a functional group.Lichtenhan et al. have also disclosed a method of producing a copolymerhaving, as its main chain, silsesquioxane of an incomplete cage-typestructure bound with siloxane etc. and a method of producing a copolymerusing silsesquioxane of a cage-type structure as a pendant copolymercomponent and methacrylic acid as a copolymer main chain component(Comments Inorg. Chem., 1995, 17 115-130). Further, Lichtenhan et al.also disclose a method of producing a silsesquioxane-siloxane copolymerby reacting —OH which is bound to Si at a corner of the incompletecage-type silsesquioxane with, for example, bis(dimethylamino)silane(Macromolecules, 1993, 26 2141-2142). Anderson et al. have obtained asilsesquioxane oligomer by: lithiating a silsesquioxane having silanolwith n-butyllithium; and reacting the resultant with a silsesquioxanehaving Si—Cl at one site in a perfect cage-type structure (Chem.Matter., 2006, 18(6) 1490-1497).

The inventors of the present invention have reported that a polysiloxanecan be obtained from an organic silicon compound containing silanol andreferred to as a double-decker structure alone or by reacting thecompound with silane or siloxane having Si—Cl (WO 2005/000857). Further,the inventors have reported that a linear polymer having a perfectcage-type structure on its main chain can be obtained by reacting asilsesquioxane having two silanols at positions symmetric with respectto each other with a siloxane having Si—Cl (JP 2006-22207). Thesedocuments discloses a method of obtaining a polymer of a silsesquioxane,but these documents describe neither a compound corresponding to apolysiloxane containing a reactive group at a terminal of its polymermain chain to be provided by the present specification nor a method ofproducing the compound.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Further improvements in heat resistance, electrical insulating property,durability, and moldability etc. have been particularly demanded inelectrical and electronic materials. However, conventionalsilsesquioxane copolymers are not sufficient to satisfy the demands forthese characteristics. In view of the foregoing, a compound having acage-type silsesquioxane structure as its main chain and having clearlydetermined binding position, which is excellent in heat resistance,electrical insulating property, weatherability, hardness, mechanicalstrength, and chemical resistance, etc., has been demanded.

The inventors of the present invention have found that a polysiloxanerepresented by the following formula (1) or (2) can be synthesized byreacting a silsesquioxane represented by the formula (1-0-1) with silanerepresented by the formula (1-0-2) at an appropriate ratio. Further, theinventors have found that a polysiloxane containing a reactive group ata terminal of its main chain can be obtained by performing the reactionwith, for example, a reactive chlorosilane. Thus, the inventors havecompleted the present invention.

In addition, the term “carbonnumber” denotes a number of carbon atoms in the group.

Further, in the present invention, a structure in which four oxygen isbound to Si is referred to as Q structure, a structure in which threeoxygen is bound to Si is referred to as T structure, a structure inwhich two oxygen is bound to Si is referred to as D structure, and astructure in which one oxygen is bound to Si is referred to as Mstructure. Therefore, the term “T₈Q₂ structure” means a structureobtained by combining eight T structures and two Q structures.

According to the present invention, a polysiloxane compound having, onits main chain, a silsesquioxane skeleton having Q(T₈Q)_(n) structure orT₈(QT₈)_(n) structure can be obtained. Further, a polysiloxane compoundhaving, for example, M₂Q(T₈Q)_(n)M₂ structure, DT₈(QT₈)_(n)D structure,or M₂T₈(QT₈)_(n)M₂ structure can be obtained by capping the resultantpolysiloxane with a silicon compound containing a reactive group.Further, an organic-inorganic composite material can be produced byusing the resultant polysiloxane.

The above-mentioned first step of obtaining Compound (1-c) may beperformed by a method involving reacting Compound (1-a) with Compound(1-0-4) shown below or by a method involving reacting Compound (1-a′)with Compound (1-0-4).

Reacting at least two kindsof Compounds (1-0-5) each having any one of the functional groups withCompound (1-c) in which at least two of A represents hydrogen sufficesfor the synthesis of Compound (1-d) having at least two differentfunctional groups.

Of these solvents, thearomatic hydrocarbons are preferable, and, of the aromatic hydrocarbons,toluene is particularly preferable.

Although the reaction between Compound (1-c) and Compound (1-0-5) havingthe functional group does not necessarily require a solvent, solvent, ifused, is prepared so as to have a concentration of preferably 0.05 to 80wt %, or more preferably 30 to 70 wt %.

The ratio of Compound (1-0-5) having the functional group with respectto Compound (1-c) varies depending on purposes.

In addition, a compound represented by the formula (2-a) can be obtainedby reacting Compound (1-0-1) with Compound (1-0-2) in such a manner thata ratio of the number of moles (N) of Compound (1-0-2) to the number ofmoles (M) of Compound (1-0-1) is 1 or less, or preferably 0.1 to 1 asshown in the following formula (V). Then, Compound (2-b) can be obtainedfrom thus obtained Compound (2-a) in the same manner as in the formula(II) or (III).

The following procedure may be adopted: after Compound (1-0-1) andCompound (1-0-2) have been reacted with each other at a ratio N/M ofmore than 1 to provide Compound (1-a), Compound (1-a) is allowed toreact with Compound (1-0-1), or after Compound (1-0-1) and Compound(1-0-2) have been allowed to react with each other at a ratio M/N ofmore than 1 to provide Compound (2-a), Compound (2-a) is allowed toreact with Compound (1-0-2). Further, such reactions may be alternatelyrepeated.

In this case, Compound (1-a′) shown below or Compound (2-a) shown aboveis obtained.

The above-mentioned reaction betweenthe compound represented by the formula (1-0-1′) and the compoundrepresented by the formula (1-0-2′) can be performed in an organicsolvent.

An organic solvent to be used for production of the polysiloxane of thepresent invention can be used as long as the organic solvent does notinhibit the progress of the reaction for the production. Specificexamples of the organic solvent include: aromatic hydrocarbons such asbenzene, toluene, and xylene; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane andheptane; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, andiso-propanol; ethers such as dimethyl ether, diethyl ether,tetrahydrofuran, and 1,4-dioxane; acetates such as methyl acetate, ethylacetate, and butyl acetate; amides such as N,N-dimethylformamide,N,N-dimethylacetamide, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; ketones such asacetone, 2-butanone, and methyl-iso-butyl ketone; acetonitrile; anddimethyl sulfoxide. Of those, tetrahydrofuran and the acetates arepreferable because each of them can dissolve a raw material and aproduct. In addition, the volume of the organic solvent, which is notparticularly limited in the present invention, is 0.01 to 100 parts byweight with respect to 1 part by weight of Compound (1-0-1). Thereaction may be performed at room temperature, or may be performed underheating so that the reaction is promoted. When heat generation due tothe reaction is not preferable, the reaction system may be cooled forthe purpose of controlling the reaction.

A polysiloxane in which silsesquioxanes and Q structures are alternatelybound [represented by each of the formula (1-a) and (2-a)] can beproduced by such reaction.

Next, a method of capping the resultant polysiloxane [represented byeach of the formula (1-a) and (2-a)] with a chlorosilane having a groupwill be described. A polysiloxane having a reactive group represented byeach of the formula (1) and (2) can be produced by applying aconventionally well-known method for reacting silanol and thechlorosilane with each other.

A polymer obtained by the present invention, that is, the polymer beingobtained by introducing a skeleton having a cage-type structure to themain chain of the polymer, is assumed to have improved heat resistanceand improved physical strength because rigidity is imparted to thepolymer by virtue of restriction on the movement of the main chain. Inaddition, the polymer is expected to have high optical permeabilitybecause of the specificity of its structure. In addition, the polymer ofthe present invention can be utilized in a wide variety of applicationsbecause the polymer is expected to be excellent in, for example,solubility, heat resistance, mechanical strength, optical permeability,gas permeability, dielectric constant, flame retardancy, adhesiveness,and processability. Examples of expected applications of the polymer toelectrical and electronic materials include: coating agents forsubstrates, such as a metal elution-preventing film, a gas barrier film,and an antireflection film; coating agents for semiconductors, such as aliquid sealing agent and an interlayer insulator; optical elements suchas a microlens, a light-guiding plate, and an optical waveguidematerial; display substrates; and substrates for printed wiring. Inaddition, the polymer may be blended with any other components such asan antioxidant, a colorant, and a filler before use as required to suchan extent that the initial properties of the polymer are not impaired.
